Yet Another Dotfiles Manager

Instead of doing work to find the default branch just to be able to set up the repository before doing a fetch, do a "git clone" and let git handle it. Use -c core.sharedrepository=0600 to get the same result as --shared=0600 passed to init. Use --separate-git-dir to get the git directory in $YADM_REPO. Use a temporary dir as work tree and remove it right after the clone is done. When the clone is done, iterate over all missing files in $YADM_WORK and perform a checkout. If local files exists that differ compared with the cloned ones the local files are left intact and the user is instructed to deal with the conflicts. |
